1 IMMANUEL CHURCH, CHICHESTER HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY Approved by the Trustees: November 2016

2 Health and Safety Policy Introduction The main piece of health and safety legislation is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and its associated regulations. This legislation applies when a Church is an employer because it has at least one paid employee. However the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) considers it good practice for a volunteer user, such as a Church, to provide volunteers with the same level of health and safety protection as they would in an employer/employee relationship, irrespective of whether there are strict legal duties. The Act says that you must do what is reasonably practicable to ensure the health and safety of all who come, or are likely to come, onto church land or premises. It is not always possible to give prescriptive advice on what health and safety responsibilities are in a given situation. It is often up to the people responsible to judge what is reasonable in the circumstances having due regard to the risks which may exist, the precautions which are already in place and the resources available. The Policy is in three sections: A. General Statement of Policy B. Organisation and Responsibilities C. Arrangements

3 Section A General Statement of Policy Our policy, so far as is reasonably practicable, is to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for all our employees and voluntary helpers, and to provide such information, training and supervision as they need for this purpose. We will also endeavour to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of all members and visitors to Immanuel Church. The allocation of duties for safety matters and the particular arrangements, which we will make to implement the policy, are set out below. The policy will be kept up to date, particularly in the light of any changes to our buildings or activities. To ensure this, the policy and the way in which it has operated will be reviewed annually and the appropriate changes made. In order to ensure that health and safety matters are kept constantly under review, an item on Health and Safety will be on the agenda for all meetings of the Immanuel Church Trustees and employees and voluntary workers will be consulted on a regular basis in order to seek their views on health and safety matters.

4 Section B - Organisation and Responsibilities 1. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRUSTEES Overall responsibility for health and safety is that of the Trustees of Immanuel Church. 2. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND TRUSTEES The Leadership Team and Trustees have general responsibility to ensure that the health and safety policy is implemented. 3. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICER The Responsibility of the Health and Safety Officer (the Responsible Person) shall be to a.

RESPONSIBILITY OF EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTARY WORKERS All employees and voluntary helpers have a responsibility to co-operate in the implementation of this health and safety policy and to take reasonable care of themselves and others whilst on church business or premises.
